Observe this little code:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class A
{
public:
void SetArray(string* array)
{
sArray = array;
Size = sizeof array / sizeof *array; // does not work! "sizeof array"
returns 4.... should be 7*16.
}
private:
string* sArray;
size_t Size;
};
int main()
{
string SomeStringArray[7] = {"word1","word2","word3",
"word4","word5","word6","word7"};
A Obj1;
Obj1.SetArray(SomeStringArray);
return 0;
}
Why isn't my sizeof operator not working like this?
I need this to implement a private helper method wich calculates the number
of elements in sArray, buy using the sizeof operator if possible.
What are my options (wich are reasonable)?
